Christina Horlbeck Wuillermin Chris, a German native, trained as a photographer in Mannheim with Tita Binz and at the Akademie Der Freien Kuenste with Karl Trummer. Before emigrating to the US, Chris worked at Clar Werbung in Heidelberg. Chris was exposed to art and began her training at an early age; both her father and grandfather were sculptors. While Chris is still active with photography, her interests have led her through work with batik in the 70s, to alternative photography in the 80s, to monoprinting in the 90s. More recently Chris has also deepened her exploration in clayprinting, doing workshops in the past years with Mitch Lyons. Moving from photography to alternate forms of printing, such as image transfers and digital printing felt like a natural progression for Chris, who finds exploring new directions stimulating.
Chris' work has been featured in solo shows including and exhibit at the Richard Stockton College of NJ, and group exhibits Burlington County, at the Willingboro Arts Festival, the Hammonton Arts Center, the Atlantic City Arts Center and the Ocean City Arts League. Chris has also been featured with R. Tracy Newman in a joint exhibit at Philadelphia's House of Lloyd, and in an international retrospective exhibit:" Three Sculptors, One Printmaker" in Guensfeld, Germany. She has been awarded many recognitions for her mixed media work which can be found in private collections in the US, Germany and Italy. Chris resides in Hammonton, NJ and is active with and valued by the Hammonton Arts Center as an artist and board member.
